Test render from a few years ago. (USS Sato) Currently a little busy with tiny "near future" hardware. Next week I will start on yacht concept visuals. Both are not Starships, but they do pay the bills and are at least somewhat in the orbit of sci-fi :)

Scary stuff, the website is online! Over the next couple of weeks I will be adding some more logic/images/info to the gallery page, and include the workbees in the starship catalog. www.hsy.earth/site/

A prison I did around 2007 for a fan film. (In the Star Wars universe.)

The first image was the moment I realized that the planetary shipyard in the middle of an ocean was not ideal for larger & ring ships. 😂 This is why I'm working on the space dock. It also makes a little bit more sense in terms of my "brand" name. Progress on the space dock is slow but steady. :)

I'm still chipping away at a new website and blog. Here is a preview of the new logo, and well, a 2021-ish shot of the Aventine, as you don't follow me for logos. :D

Some test images, from February 2014, of a Spirit class variant. I was alpha testing Moskito renderer by Cebas. These rendered under a minute. (in 2014, on a single mid range GPU.) As I came from "buckets" this was very impressive to me. :)

Lunary Serenity is a hybrid between a Yacht and a Starship. Render and model from 2007. *I'm currently working on a blog/website with a gallery of old and new work, a bio and some information about HSY both in and outside of the or a universe. (Much required for average non Sci-Fi person.) 😀

From 2009, an UESPA era station. (unfinished)

This month the Merian class will be 15 years old. I'm very confused as I started on it in 2009, but I assume that I then gave priority to Vesta and XCV, to finish the Merian in January 2011. Also one of the latest renders of it, (Strickland variant) from 2024.

Some concept art from Picard (not by me) showing a Vesta class starship on an MSD. I personally would have picked a very different bridge layout, but within the show this would have been a "quick" set redress. That Vesta, (USS Hikaru Sulu) + Captain Harry Kim part was dropped from the story.

Every time my follower count reaches a milestone, some Ferengi trader sends me the same amount of Self-Sealing Stem Bolts, I assume as a cruel joke, just for the shipping fee. (Who else would use 2 containers...) 2131 SSSB's... 🙂 A workbee uses 6. (Six!) Either way, thank you for the follow! :)

*I'm still here but super busy with anything but Science Fiction... argh! :) For 2026 getting structure and improving work/hobby/life balance is going to be the main goal. Meanwhile, here is a slightly barebone image of the USS Carver.

IXL Galileo, landed on a pole of KOI-4902.01.

I like Tuvok a lot.

Tiny departure schedule for the dock. (Basically the daily commuting runabout (Pleiades) and some weekly supply/cargo/material shipments by Starfleet.) Still all work in progress but slowly creeping towards a completed dock.

Inspection of Venetia Starlight. (Modeled in 2008 but recent renders.) A star yacht with forward nacelles. Some ships in this class are outfitted with roll out solar sails for a calm (but slow) journey.

A still from "765874 - Memory Wall" by the Roddenberry Archive. (I only delivered the ringship model, they do this magic!) 🙂 youtu.be/fzeznWVQu5o

My design for an RC Crawler back in 2009 vs a DARPA concept vehicle in 2022. :) Convergent evolution. (Or so I hope. :D)

I keep chipping away at a new (friendlier and smaller) habitat for the shipyard. Made some new doors today.

In a way yes! The Curie (from the books) in my mind always had this config. The large Sato side pods would be different/smaller on the Curie. The version on the schematic was a proper conversion I did in 2022 for Picard. (unused) In 2012 I did this mock up: (1/2)

USS Sato, schematic view. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i0y5m... <Bigger version.)

In an alternate timeline: Shuttle IXL Galileo is (very) near and ready to dock after collecting some atmospheric samples from Proxima B.

A Borg cube I did in 2005. Maybe it was a cube still under construction.

Bussard diagnostics on a New Atlantic class runabout. (Somebody needs to do it!) :)

Diplomatic Star yacht (traditionally) docked at Laibok. (Andoria)

The livery is very Section 31. :) This concept is dated Friday 31st of October 2008. A week or so before we settled on Probert's curved pylons. I did try out a few different configs. I personally liked this, but it would make the ship a bit shorter than was desired.

A Vesta class flyby test animation made a few years ago, during the conversion for Picard. I'm not an animator, I primarily do design and modeling and then I run out of will power. 😀 This exact mesh/model is 16 years old. (Finished January 2009.)

Fast mass production mainly, required after the events in Destiny. It has a central spine so that different pylon or module configurations can be used independent from the hull sections. My only problem with the Miranda is how the pylon "sticks" into the hull. This was my solution to that.
